Please let me know whether to cut off the snapped overhanging tree top or leave it as such for the replacement branches to grow.
At this point, it is better to remove so that the replacement branches can take over. To save the branch, it would have needed to be fixed the moment that it happened. The longer that it remains on there, now, the more of a chance it becomes to get an infection.
Removing will be best, now.

Dear BushDoctor, I have removed the snapped top of the almond tree. The tree is completely bald. Keeping the fingers crossed for it to show signs of life somewhere.

Good! Now one last thing! Make sure to keep any growth coming from the base pruned out. You want the top to sprout branches, and sometimes the new growth will want to come from the roots. You don't want that.
With some care, I know your tree will recover. ;)
Dear BushDoctor, thank you so much for your guidance and professional opinion which is comforting and brightening my confidence about the recovery of the tree.
I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. I sincerely appreciate the assistance. Many thanks for your assistance. With warm regards
I have a Tropical Almond Tree (Terminalia Catappa) on my property on the Southern Coast Ecuador. It is very sick. All the leaves are spotted, turning brown and falling. There is a large bruise on the trunk. It has been getting watered regularly. It recently (about 2 months ago) went through a period of shedding and regrowth. The regrowth (leaves) were very green and healthy. And then I noticed it was looking bad and has a large bruise on the trunk. I have no idea what to do and I am afraid the tree is dying.
It has likely contracted a disease from overwatering. This resembles many different fungal/bacterial infections.
I would treat with fungicide/bactericide, but do be aware that this kind of damage usually results in the loss of the tree.
Here are some articles that will help:

The house I just bought has two almond trees. Neither of them were in very good condition when I moved in - probably from lack of care while the house was on the market. They're both smallish, like maybe they're only a year or two old (although the trunks seem like they're older trees) One of them came back ok but the other one's really struggling. Today I noticed that the bark on it is thickening, cracking, and peeling over on itself (it almost looks like a cinnamon stick). I'm starting to think this tree is going to have to be removed and depending on why it's doing that - the other one might have to come out too since it has some of the same issues - just not as severe. I planted two almond trees in the house I moved from and in the 3 years I had them, they grew huge and never looked like these two here. Anyone have any idea what this might be?
This is bacterial... Unfortunately, there is no cure for this, but it will resolve itself with proper care. Usually, fertilization and increasing drainage to the soil will help. Here are some articles for more information:

You can choose a more hands-off approach by using earthworms! They are the best, natural, aerators!

Please help me about almond tree..also I want to ask can almond grow in the desert area..
Almonds don't flower or fruit reliably from seed, usually. They require two trees of the opposite sex, and even then may never see a flower for its entire life.
It is best to grow these trees from a trusted source that has grafted trees. This will ensure a fruiting tree within a few years if you get two of the opposite sex.
Should you still wish to try your hand, this article will help:

This almond tree is about 9years old. Has produced nuts but very small kernels. Now appears to be dying back. Is this leaf curl the same as in peach trees? How should it be treated?
